{wishing you a happy spring}

“It’s spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you want – oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!” —Mark Twain

. . . and at long last, the eternal enchantment that is spring has arrived, and while winter may have its cozy, fire-lit nights, spring has its breezes by starlight and magnolia blossoms in sunlight, its long-awaited, lingering excitement that soon there will be pleated skirts and picnics, café crème and macarons in quaint light-filled cafés in late morning, and butterflies and golden skies in early evening . . .

Breath-taking! Trees laden with bright and cheery blossoms – can’t wait for that to happen in my part of the world. Thanks for the lovely ispiration. (That’s what keeps me coming back to “this is glamorous”).

This photo is a great embodiment of spring to me! I wish I was working in a sun drenched cafe, instead the weather is still “wintery mix” here in NYC. Good things come to those who wait… here’s to hoping spring comes soon!

hmm i do feel like that today…i couldn’t quite put my finger on it until i read the ‘Mark Twain’ thought..it’s that all mixed up and not quite sure..excitement and sadness all rolled up into not quite sure what. well, and I do feel like hiding out today {in a hole so I thought but really under just such a gorgeous spring bough} sigh xx

That image is breathtaking! It’s still raining over here and I’d LOVE to be lying around at a place like the one in the photo with the smell of the blooming flowers all around in the air and the little birds singing..*sigh*

This post filled me with joy and reminded me that Spring is truly about new beginnings, and it’s about the blossoming of beauty everywhere, and the air is filled with a fresh kind of feeling. How lovely that you spent your work day in a sun-drenched café! Thank you for reminding me that the magic of this beautiful season is so deserving of embracing the moments… (and I must say that very little at this moment sounds more perfect than picnics, macarons, and butterflies!)
